ML430

  • miles
I have had 5 incidences, while driving, of uncommanded brake application of my Mercedes 1002 ML430. While driving at high speeds, up to 40 or 60+ mph, my SUV came to a sudden and abrupt halt causing the vehicle to lock up and stop. In order to unlock the Mercedes to continue driving I had to shut of the vehicle and re-start it, sometimes on the highway. These incidences have been scary and could potentially cause a major accident, injury or death. The car was towed today, October 23rd, for a second replacement of bad parts causing this problem. After today, I will have spent over $1000 to deal with this defect.
